Helpful Hints

I think the tofu tastes best when drained for 24 hours.I recommend preparing it at night, changing the paper the following morning, and then eating that evening.If you're strapped for time, you can drain it more quickly by placing a stone weight, plate, etc. on top.The tofu will get smaller when drained.
